As you all know by now that Lumira 2.0 combines the two famously available products Lumira Desktop (1.x) and Design Studio (1.x) under  one umbrella brand  rebranded  as Lumira 2.0 with the Discovery and Designer as two tools renamed for Lumira Desktop and Design Studio . It was just not about rebranding  but  there was a underlying technology convergence as well between these products which helps both the products features  extendable  to each other and as well helps for better use cases.

Both the products Lumira Desktop and Design Studio had its SDK which was primarily used to develop the extensions like Visualisation extensions for Lumira , Data access extensions for Lumira  and Design studio components (Both Visualisations as well as Data access). As these extensions  deliver some of the core add on values to our customers who  have been using these products , We  would continue to support the SDK  extensions and the components from 1.x to 2.0  as well and our main objective would be to support our developers of these SDK extensions and components to seamlessly migrate to 2.0 and support  their customers.

However, with the technology migration from 1.x to 2.0 , we had taken a conscious call where-in we moved away from supporting the SAP UI5  (including Open UI5 as we) commons library to the sap .m library standards . Now, what it means to our developers is if they have developed any Extensions or Components using the SAP UI5 commons library , then would have to migrate to the SAP UI5 sap.m (https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/#/api/sap.m)  library.

This blog , i will try best to keep more of handy as root blog for the  upcoming blogs on some of the best practices which can be followed by you as a developer to get your extensions UP and Running to Lumira 2.0 .  So , instead blogging everything here , will try and keep this space indexed with the upcoming blogs and their links as  below.

* Let me begin first with the changes in the framework level which we had done with which we are moving from the SAP Ui5 commons library to sap.m changes . Please click the link below for complete  details.

Migrating your SAP Lumira Discovery Extensions from SAP UI5 commons to sap.m API

TORONTO — SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) today announced that Lloyds Banking Group will boost its payment capabilities and provide unmatched delivery to corporate and institutional clients with a cash management and payments platform from SAP, powered by SAP HANA.

By bringing new digitalized functionalities to its commercial portfolio, Lloyds will offer clients seamless self-service with increased performance efficiency and operational productivity. SAP technology will furnish Lloyds with a real-time banking platform to meet the complex business requirements of large commercial banks, non-bank financial institutions and corporate while also providing cost savings and enriched customer experience to clients. The announcement was made at Sibos 2017, being held October 16–19 in Toronto, Canada.

With a commitment to delivering the future of innovation in banking, Lloyds is making this investment to support its existing and prospective clients in embracing the opportunities emerging through open banking. Through its digital core, which provides advanced real-time data analytics as well as open architecture, SAP technology enables Lloyds to redefine experiences for corporate and institutional clients. Now, complex transactions can be completed faster, liquidity can be managed more efficiently and productivity can be increased through additional insight into operations.

“The need for corporate banks to provide their clients with a seamless user experience as well as a high level of self-service becomes more and more imminent,” said Rob Hetherington, global head of Financial Services Industries at SAP. “Banks must provide not only first-class product functionality but also ease of consumption through open application programming interfaces (APIs) as well as being flexible to meet customer expectations. By supplying real-time cash management, payments and analytics capabilities coupled with an API-based architecture, SAP is committed to helping corporate banks, like Lloyds, harness innovation to deliver unparalleled experiences.”

Selecting SAP technology follows Lloyds’s decision to improve its trade finance, invoice finance and client monies platforms. By expanding its comprehensive payment and channel capabilities, Lloyds not only addresses client needs for quick, secure and reliable payments but also acquires the agility needed to adapt to future changes.

From the core banking offering from SAP, Lloyds will use the SAP Deposits Management and SAP Payment Engine applications and the SAP Omnichannel Banking solution, all powered by SAP HANA. This will enable Lloyds to offer clients a wide range of digital self-service tools for cash management and payments. The in-memory technology of SAP HANA allows both corporate and institutional clients to access these features with advanced real-time analytics capabilities. Through the modular and flexible SAP platform, Lloyds expects to gain a competitive advantage with greater business agility and lower total cost of ownership.

1991 – I visited Yosemite park and missed to hike up to (one of the) falls
….
2017 – Mission completed – I have seen Vernal fall and the Half Dome!

Yeah! (SAP)Community rocks! 

This was a new and different aspect of what I already experienced in the past about

“Aiming high” with “SAPCommunity”

I already had very good experiences at many local events like e.g. SAPInnojam and SAPDemoJam. And I loved the ones where we “failed” nearly as much as the ones where we were successful as a team.  (“Cloudsitters” – DemoJam Winner at SAPTechEd Amsterdam 2013  Blog Video)

Now – in September 2017 – we got even higher than before.
1600ft on a 5 miles hiking trail to be more concrete.

This blog is about an awesome trip with the ClueBus from SAP Inside Track Silicon Valley to SAPTechEd in Las Vegas.

I’ll share my view of these days in three steps:

* Explaining some terms that might be confusing if you never heard of them.
I’ll avoid links to further information .. the search option powered by HANA is very powerful. * Photos and impressions .. as an appetizer for step 3

* Finally: Movie time.
The Community Trip with the ClueBus
.. that turned out to be “The GoatMovie” (15min)

Let’s go:

Explanations .. what .. when .. why

SAP Inside Track

A local grassroots event – driven by enthusiastic SAPCommunity members in many countries/cities all over the world.  SAPMentors initially started to host these events that are now a success story of their own.

Usually between 40-100 participants – speakers and participants found by self-registration via WIKI.

(I’m proud to be one of the founders of the SAP Inside Track in Frankfurt a.M. /Germany after enjoying and presenting at other SITs in the years before)

This blog here will take SAP Inside Track SiliconValley (#sintSV) in San Francisco 2017 as a starting point of this blog/video.

SAPCommunity

The platform formerly known as SCN => SAPCommunity(fkaSCN)
Your are already here at the moment – reading this blog published in SAPCommunity.

SAPCommunityPeeps

Not an official term, but the best I found to name the networking aspect and the binding between all the people – now that the term SAPCommunity is taken for the technical platform (fka SCN) as well.
Too bad that the hashtag #SCP is already taken by SAPCloudPlatform

The cross-company networking of all peeps who like to share and learn about SAP aspects (meeting in real life at local or global events e.g. SAP Inside Tracks and using whatever platform like e.g. Twitter, Facebook)

SAPTechEd

The yearly conference by SAP in USA, Europe and Asia.

Covering all new and upcoming topic trends since 21 years. There are lectures from 30 minutes up to 2 hours. Hands-on sessions with up-to-date exercises .. brand new stuff you do not yet get at any training center. MiniCodeJams, ShowFloor and so much more.

And nowadays more than ever a strong connection with SAPCommunityPeeps.

Some selected sessions from SAPCommunity-active speakers are part of the official SAPTechEd agenda – you often identify these sessions by no free seats and people standing in the room. These sessions mostly were already a huge success at a local grassroots event (yes .. like SAP Inside Track)

SAPTechEd Las Vegas 2017 is the target destination of this blog/video.

ClueBus

(like ClueTrain)

ClueTrain:
An idea back in around 2008 when SAPCommunityPeeps like Craig Cmehil and Gregor Wolf coordinated a train trip through Germany to reach SAPTechEd in Berlin.

Others joined this fun trip and arrived together in Berlin.

This idea was picked up by Mark Finnern and Njål Stabell in summer 2017. They organized a bus tour starting from the SAPInsideTrack Silicon Valley location. The #ClueBus idea was born.

Njål – as the CIO of Neptune Software , SAPMentor and enthusiastic community guy – was supporting the ClueBus tour as a sponsor with his company. Thanks mate, thanks Neptune!

While driving at night in this very special sleeper bus we had a full day at Yosemite Park on our way to SAPTechEd LasVegas – and a challenging hike ahead.

And finally:

Capra – the community goat

A little goat living on Twitter with its very own view on the SAPCommunity.

“Born” by Colleen Hebbert  and Susan Keohan with a winking eye while struggling with the daily SAPCommunity(fka SCN) work as moderators.
Capra materialized herself some weeks ahead of SAPTechEd Las Vegas and started travel plans to join the community in “real”.

Her legs are short, but with some volunteering goat herders her plans grew and she registered for #sitSV and the #Cluebus.
Follow her on twitter ( http://twitter.com/community_goat ) and send her a “Hi!”. Capra loves Community!

Travel planning

I was already planning to attend the #sitSV (and pushed Njal a bit to get the date fixed early). My travel plan originally included a Saturday around Palo Alto to visit Apple HQ, HANA Haus and Google) and booked a flight from San Jose to Las Vegas on Sunday.

The #ClueBus idea crossed my plan .. far too good to not participate.

Finally, the updated travel plan looked like this:

Photos / Impressions

SAP Inside Track Silicon Valley  at Google
(no .. this is not the GoldenGate bridge, but the Oakland Bridge)

Live Stream from SAP Inside Track Silicon Valley (recordings found at the event page)

I’m still wondering who own this notebook .. a “SAP Inside Track Frankfurt” branded gadget .. seems to be a long distance traveller

Me .. caught when taking the previous photo without knowing this is the streaming device LOL

Lunchtime .. the community goat Capra is doing heavy networking.

“Our” ClueBus .. with Mark Finnern SAPMentor StreetArt

The ClueBus trip
.. starting 9pm (Friday) in San Francisco and arriving in Las Vegas (Sunday at noon)

3 degrees Celsius – brrrrr – freezing cold .. and no hot coffee(!)
but a perfect weather for hiking in Yosemite Park

1600feet uphill and 5 miles (500m / 9km)

Preparations for the hike ongoing .. making bread and bread selfies

..and discussing which way to go uphill

… to reach the top of Verna Fall

The same place .. but without us

Capra feels at home .. she is a mountain goat…

Easy going for mountain goats … 

not so easy for SAPMentors     

It was a very special trip for me .. 10years SAPMentors Thank you Mark!

Evening at a campsite … vegetarian BBQ .. Yummy
(It was close to a mutiny when the BBQ without meat was told to us

It get’s cold at night at Yosemite:

“Campfire is like SoftwareDesign
.. always take care of the Frontend AND Backend” (Capra)

On the road …

Reaching Las Vegas .. waiting for SAPTechEd Check-In to be opened

.. while Capra and ClueBus dominate the twitter walls of SAPTechEd on Sunday and Monday

Finally, here it is:
